Book Information: Wind from the Abyss

Once the holder of her planet's highest office -- the High Couch of Silistra -- Estri was now powerless, held captive by the usurper Khys. His ambition: to exhume the lost technology that had decimated the world's population centuries before. Alone, Estri could do nothing. But Khys's plans threatened outworlders as well -- and Estri's rescue would come not from Silistra, but from space.
